You might’ve noticed Lakmé’s new campaign with Kareena Kapoor Khan doing the rounds on your screens, in which she talks about the brand’s star collection this year—Lakmé Absolute Illuminate, including everything from shimmer lipsticks to a nourishing skincare range of serums and face creams.

And when you see it, you’ll notice an evident glow on the star’s face. We know. We were there, in real life. While shooting at a mountainside farmhouse in Thailand, Kareena Kapoor Khan always had her game face on—radiating confidence all through—as she strutted in one gorgeous Rohit Bal gown and then another. But what really happened between shots—when she wasn’t facing the camera and doing what she does best?

Just like some of her reel life characters, Kapoor Khan’s vivacious energy is addictive. She laughs heartily, shares fun moments with her team of stylists and make-up artists and doesn’t let the scorching summer heat get in the way of her mood. Though, being a perfectionist, she expects the best from the rest of the crew too.

What’s her on-shoot munching snack? Popcorn, and a juicy fruit basket of rose apples, strawberries and cherries. And her off-shoot attire? Casual-chic comfortables.
